Spurs will let him test the free agent market and think about bringing him back if he doesn't get an offer above veteran minimum. When R.C. Buford reflects on the contract that Nazr turned down last summer, I'm sure he thinks, "There but for the grace of God..."

I expect Nazr to be gone. I wouldn't be surprised if both Nazr and Rasho were gone next year. I strongly suspect the coaching and FO is sick and tired of getting such little production out of the centre slot. I am confident that we will see Javtokas next year. I would love to see another body in for Rasho as well - Steven Hunter (need to trade w/philly) or Joel Pryzbilla (FA, possible sign and trade with Rasho to Portland?) might both be options to explore.

I don't know if he can play the 4 or not, but if he could I'd love to see the Lakers pick him up. He can block some shots and board for us, which is all we need from him if Kwame can keep playing the way he finished this season.

Nazr is a gonner unless no one else shows interest. Spurs will bring in someone else- possibly even Scola, but the problem there is that you get smaller with Scola. They really need to shore up that front line with some thugs. Scola can be thuggish, but how tall is he? He's a tweener like Malik, no?

Scola's an undersized PF...Certainly not a replacement for Nazr. Though, I would welcome bringing him in, and it would force Timmy to play more minutes at the 5 spot, I think we would also need to bring in one of our other European bigs (Javtokas or Mahinmi for grooming purposes) or sign another serviceable big who can play minutes at the 5 behind *cough* Rasho.

Seeing as how they're stuck with Rashole, I would say that Nazr is probably out. Maybe they are planning on giving Oberto some playing time next year, he really isn't as bad as he seems. Lots of hustle, high in awkwardness though.

I'm still in need of convincing that the Oberto experiment hasn't been an unmitigated failure. He has shown some hustle, but he's also showed an inability to adjust to the length/strength of NBA bigs. Maybe some more minutes next season will prove my hunch wrong but I'm doubtful.

Oberto seems like a smart player, but it seems like he just cannot score in the NBA. Maybe with this year under his belt he'll improve, and of course I hope he does, but it seems doubtful.

he has said he wants to play one more year and it would only be in SA..didnt want to go somewhere else

Rasho > Dampier.

that guy is garbage

Yeah, but he is garbage that doesn't get called on half his fouls...

Remember that shot of him trying to take TP's head off at the same time as pulling on Rasho's shorts from game 1. If you look at the box score and the play by play, that wasn't called a foul. With the ref looking right at it (you can see the ref in the photo).
